I will do my best to remember your opinion next time I use AI to buy clothes, but given the fact that IDGAF, it's not going to be easy.

I bet it was an awesome shower when OP came up with this story. Nice and hot.

You can name your band Nervanna, but it's lame AF. Be your own thing.

Interesting, considering MS just announced the same exact feature in the new Notepad app on Windows 11 last week.

>I doubt we will have accurate, mind-reading consumer devices in the near future

So what? Stop trying? Give up? What's the point of this statement? Why is the timeline you personally find realistic relevant to anyone else but you?

This is correct. Too many people found the results of their collected date "problematic" so they scrubbed the web of them the best they could.
